URGING WAR ON JAPANESE
South Leader's Advice To Nanking
Canton, Aug. 1. Irumediate decluralian of war against Japan to check its invasion of North China was urged by Dr. Chou Lou, member of the Standing Com- mittee of the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee and Chancellor of Sun Yat-sen Universiis, in a tele- gram dispatched yesterday to General Chiang Kai-shek, President of the Executive Yuan and Chairman of the Military Affairs Commission.
"Japanese aggression without de- claration of war is intended to serve three purposes detrimental to China,” Chancellor Chou pointed out. "Under
present conditions, world opinion is that the ghting is but a local incident and that treaties cannot be invoked effectively against, Japan.
"Without a declaration of war, Japanese can freely travel in wur zones and elsewhere and can utilise traitors to obtain our military and political plans.
"Since there is no declaration of war. Japanese goods are still coming to China, and the proceeds will be
used in the war against us,"
In the circumstances, nothing short of a declaration of war will save the situation, the Kuomintang leader em- phasized. Such declaration, he held, will give the other Powers a proper perspective of the situation and will arouse the spirit of the soldiers and people.
"This ja my humble suggestion," the telegram said. "I wish to have your opinion on my views."
Chancellor Chou added that every one with moral principle must be Revord with General dang's statements at Kuling, and “Nanking stud is equally aroused by the situa- tion.

London, Aug. 1.
The situatio, in the Far East must continue to engage the Foreign Secre tary's attention. If only in the con- thued representation of the wisdom of a peaceful settlement between China and Japan, declares the Dally Telegraph in an editorial to-day on the adjournment of Parliament.
The outside world cannot pretend to be disinterested in a conflict that is destroying the ordered life of North Chann.
While war clouds hang over zee- tions of Europe and Asia, the Parlin- mentary holiday season must still be one of watchfulness. The outlook is uncertain, though better in
